I did not lose anyone that day. I have lost several family members (including my 2 yr old daughter), and several friends, though. I have never lost anybody close to me through a violent act like that, and I'm sure it's a little different feeling when you have "someone" to blame. I'm sure that losing a loved one creates different feelings when they die due to illnesses, accidents, or brutal murders.
But regardless of how a loved one dies, everybody copes with it it different ways. Some people accept it as "death is a fact of life", it affects some people to the extreme of having a devastating effect on their life.
If I remember right, you're 16...? Have you ever lost anyone close to you?
